PressTine Marketing Mystery Tear

For todays post I have for you one of those cheap 'mystery' packs put together by PressTine Marketing Inc. The pack includes a variety of 15 trading cards for a buck; from my previous experience in opening these value packs, the cards inside range from anything late 80s to the most recent releases.

Take a look after the break.

2010-11 Upper Deck National Hockey Card Day

Jeff Skinner #HCD3

I've made my money back already, maybe. This was the outside card featured in the pack; that card that entices you pick it up in the first place. As I didn't own this card or any other National Hockey Card Day cards from this year, this Skinner rookie was a sure bet when deciding which rack pack to pull down from the Dollarama heavens.

1993-94 Upper Deck All-Rookie Team

Joe Juneau #282

Didn't I JUST post about how much I liked these Upper Deck All-Rookie Team cards, the hockey card gods must have been listening and whispering in PressTine Marketings ear. Pulling 90s inserts like this is a reason why I decide to pick up these cheap random packs, a little bliss came over me when I retrieved this ART. Juneau currently holds an NHL record for most assists in a single season by a left winger with 70, a record he set during his rookie season.

The last card in the mystery pack was this Marc Staal from the 2008-09 Upper Deck set that I have been slowly collating by hand - unfortunately this card was a duplicate. Great looking photograph on the cardboard though.﻿
